“Believing will save you…but following will set you free” - Cathy Hollabaugh

For Cathy Hollabaugh, problem-solving isn’t just a skill—it’s a calling. She embodies resilience, clarity, and a steadfast faith that guides her through every twist and turn. When faced with adversity, Cathy doesn’t stew or stall. She seeks the Lord’s counsel, acts with conviction, and walks forward in trust. What others might see as obstacles, Cathy recognizes as divine detours—new paths laid by God’s hand.

Throughout her life, Cathy has worn many hats: barrel trainer, competitor, friend, and dental hygienist. In each role, she has led with compassion and purpose. She’s helped troubled horses find their footing and uplifted people navigating their own storms. Her life has not been without hardship, yet she meets each challenge with grace, allowing herself to be led wherever God calls.

Now, Cathy steps into a new chapter—facing a diagnosis of Head and Neck Cancer that has spread to her lymph nodes. But even here, she stands firm. With courage in her heart and unwavering trust in her Savior, Cathy embraces this journey not as a problem to be solved, but as another step in the story God is writing through her life. She might not know the answer… but she does know HOPE.  Eternal Hope.
